Just plainly sitting down and staring at the idiot box without snacking on anything. Just curious to know if anyone knows :p

You are really asking what your "basal metabolism" is... the calories that your body burns just maintaining life. It takes calories to pump blood, stay warm, etc.
Depends on your size. At 5'11" and 180 lbs (fit). If I was sedentary my basal caloric requirement would be about 90 calories per hour.

www.caloriesperhour.com has an activity calculator that will give you the number of calories burned for all sorts of random activities. Because I don't know your height and weight, I can't do it for you.
For example I'm 5'9" and 160 pounds. I burn approximately 73 calories per hour of TV watching.
People don't realize that as long as you are alive, you are burning calories. Your body needs energy (calories) to breathe, push blood through your veins, etc. So if you just sit there you are still using up calories but if you are trying to lose weight you need to burn off more calories than you consume.

depends on how much you weigh. all calories burned are figured by cal/#/hour - but from what many fitness sites they say usually 35-50 calories per hour.
